Modern Lower Bound Techniques in Database Theory and Constraint Satisfaction
Summary: Tutorial survey of modern conditional lower-bound techniques (P≠NP, ETH, fine-grained) for database theory and constraint satisfaction. Demonstrates how these frameworks and reductions yield tight, often near-optimal, barriers for core DB/CSP algorithms. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
